“Submissions to the Australian Fair Pay Commission for its first minimum wage rates decision close today. The submissions received will be considered by the Commission.
The submissions and the research, together with information gathered during stakeholder meetings and public consultations will inform the Commission’s wage review process.
The Australian Fair Pay Commission will not be commenting on individual submissions, or points raised, within the submissions at this time. When the Federal minimum wage is announced in Spring, the decision will be published and reference the Commission's key considerations.
On behalf of the Commissioners, I would like to thank every individual and organisation who put forward their views and participated in our process.”
